MSK rehabilitation

If you have an MSK (musculoskeletal) rehabilitation appointment with us, here is what to expect.

Before your MSK rehab appointment

Our MSK rehab team are experienced clinicians who hold professional qualifications in: 

• Occupational therapy
• Osteopathy
• Physiotherapy 
• Podiatry
• Sports therapy  

Our MSK rehab appointments are designed to: 

• Understand what the problem is.
• Complete a physical assessment.
• Provide initial advice, a diagnosis (where possible) and agree on a treatment plan.

Your first appointment with one of our MSK (Musculoskeletal) clinicians tends to last 30 minutes in a telephone, video or face-to-face appointment. Follow-up appointments may be shorter.

To prepare for your appointment, please: 

• Identify the key questions you would like to ask.
• Have an up-to-date list of medications and your medical history to hand.
• Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Your clinician may ask you to partially undress to examine the body part in question.

During your MSK rehab appointment

We’ll ask you questions about: 

• Your pain / condition including what treatments you may have already tried 
• Your lifestyle and usual exercise/physical activity routines 
• Your goals (what you would like to return to doing) 
• Any medical conditions you have and medications that you take.

After your MSK rehab appointment 

At the end of the appointment, if you further care or support is required we will agree a plan with you for the next steps.

Changing or cancelling your appointment 

If you can no longer attend an appointment, then letting us know early often means it can be used by someone else who is waiting. If you don’t already have the contact details for the service your appointment is with, you can find them on your local service page.
